Mesonephric remnants are vestiges of Wolffian ducts located adjacent to the Müllerian ducts. Proliferations arising from these remnants are uncommon and classified as benign, including mesonephric hyperplasia, Gartner and rete …
Obesity is a major global public health concern closely linked to the development and progression of various gynaecological disorders, particularly polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometrial cancer. Incretins, a group …
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants that interfere with hormone signalling and are increasingly linked to adverse reproductive outcomes. This viewpoint highlights emerging evidence that EDC exposure disrupts both …
Background and Objectives: Endometriosis is associated with chronic inflammation, immune dysregulation, oestrogen-dependent growth, oxidative stress, altered steroid hormone metabolism, compromised epithelial barrier integrity, and the production of bioactive microbial metabolites. …
The uterus is an essential organ for fetal development in most mammals. Uterine glands, highly conserved structures in the mammalian uterus, play critical roles in the establishment and maintenance of …
Assisted reproductive technology (ART) is increasingly utilized worldwide, yet concerns remain regarding its potential association with breast and gynecological malignancies and the safety of fertility-preservation strategies in cancer survivors. Ovarian …
Background/Objectives: The levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device (LNG-IUD) is widely used as a long-acting reversible contraceptive and as a therapeutic option for heavy menstrual bleeding, endometriosis, adenomyosis, and endometrial hyperplasia. Although its …
White adipose tissue is now recognized as an active endocrine organ that secretes numerous bioactive molecules known as adipokines. These proteins regulate essential physiological processes, including energy metabolism, inflammation, and …
The concept of ferroptosis debuted as a newly defined programmed cell death in 2012. Among programmed cell death mechanisms, ferroptosis stands out as being fundamentally dependent on iron. At the …
Lactate is increasingly recognized not only as a metabolic end product of glycolysis but also as a signaling metabolite that links metabolic reprogramming to epigenetic and transcriptional regulation through protein …
